Come Fly with Us

Good evening, Gentle Readers, and welcome aboard Pibgorn flight 603 non stop to Total Confusion. While we await our turn to taxi out onto the runway, we’d like to take a moment to familiarize you with some of the safety features of this Comic Strip. Down at your side, you will find large white plastic cards that have been wedged between the couch cushions. On them you will find a set of emergency instructions. Please take a moment to familiarize yourselves with the emergency evacuation procedures. Once we are airborne, and it is safe for you to engage in speculation, our pilot will turn on the “Comment” sign. At that point you may theorize and speculate as much as you wish. However, for your own safety and that of your fellow passengers, we do ask that you not jump to a conclusion that is over 10 feet away. If we should encounter sudden shifts in reality, the captain may turn on the “Happy Hour” sign, at which point we ask that you please take your seats, deploy your tray tables, hold your glass above your head and rattle the ice. One of our flight squirrels will be by shortly to bring you a belt. If characters, costumes, or situations should cause the cabin to overheat, Llefty the 3-LLLama will immediately drop down from the overhead compartment and squirt you with the hose. In the unlikely event that the couch becomes caught in a flash flood of purple prose, your couch cushion may be used as a flotation device. Once you have achieved complete boyancy, please remain calm, raise both arms overhead with fingers spread (demonstrates) so that the rescue bats may grasp your fingers and tow you to safety. And now, on behalf of the captain and our crew, I'd like to thank you for choosing Pibgorn. We hope you enjoy your flight of fancy, and that you will fly with us again soon.
